RSX World Windsurfing Championship – Days 2 and 3 overall +Videos

by Icarus Sailing Media on 25 Feb 2016 Welcome to day two of the 2016 RS:X World Windsurfing Championships and Eilat ­RS:X Under 21 Windsurfing Championships.

The second day of racing saw the fleet grow ever more familiar with Eilat's Sea state and wind conditions whilst the favourites of the regatta continued to establish themselves. Blasting off the starting line, competitors who could maintain the pressure in their sail and take every tactical advantage were able to consolidate their place on the leader board.

After four races, London's silver medalist Nick Dempsey and Poland's Pawel Tarnowski were the ones to watch – putting the pressure on those chasing the pack.

Both managed to get to the top of the leaderboard, with an equal score, a tense position to be in at the close of play.

Malgorzata Bialecka is dominating in women's fleet after scoring three bullets in four races confirming Poland's notorious reputation in the class. There are only a few points separating the women from second to 10th position so anything can happen in the fight for the title.

The action will continue tomorrow when the final series of races will get underway.
